24 May - The Day Of Slavonic Alphabet, Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture
May 24 is the Day Of Slavonic Alphabet, Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture. This day has been celebrated for 157 years now – no other holiday was so long celebrated in Bulgarian late history.


On May 11 1851 a celebration was organized by Nayden Gerov at the eparchy school `St St Kiril and Methody` in the town of Plovdiv. This was the first time to be marked the Day of the Saint brothers Kiril and Methody – the creators of Slavonic Alphabet.
